    When you draft at the top of the draft you suppose to pick the best player available not for need. It's my opinion.

    I assume they'll draft BPA and that to me is one of Tkachuk(I think they'll reach for him given his family history and potential) or Wahlstrom.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    So Edmonton chosing McDavid over a D prospect was a mistake? They didn't need another forward but they picked one anyway. I agree if you can draft a high pick that fills a need, you should, but if you don't need a D man this year but are chosing 1st, you'd be a fool to pass on Dahlin.
    Points only keeper. 12 Teams. No pos requirements. 18 skaters / 3 goalies (2 count for points.) G/A = 1 point each (includes goalies) Goalies = 1.5 for W / 4.5 for SO. Minors - 4 year protection. Prospects added during their draft year only. Undrafted = waivers.

    No I said “if you were going to draft for need” you do it near the top. I would choose the best player regardless of need.

    I think the Habs would go D there, if Hughes is on the board. No Subban, no Sergachev. They need a young, horse of a D to build around. Quality forwards are easier to acquire via trade or free agency.

    Here's my new Top 15 mock draft now that the draft order is finalized.

    Remember, it's a mock draft, not my personal rankings. It follows closely the tiers described in the latest TSN Draft Rankings.

    Post lottery, Craig Button updates his mock draft board up to #15.

    https://www.tsn.ca/tsn-hockey-mock-d...tion-1.1071168

    Interesting to see Button pushing Jesperi Kotkaniemi into his top 10. I'd be over the moon if Boqvist slips to Edmonton at 10.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Kotkaniemi was #10 on TSN Draft Rankings as well, so not surprising. He could definitely sneak into the top 10 because he's the best center available in the draft. He's been great at the U18 Worlds where he's played center.

    Recrutes have Kotkaniemi ranked #4...

    EDIT: 14/15 from Button's mock are on my mock as well. Only difference is Wilde vs Denisenko. Wilde was one of three players I considered for the Panthers at #15 (and had them taking him in my earlier mock).

    I'd be down with the Flyers snagging Farabee. Oh, and if Boqvist goes to Edmonton, I'd take him extremely high in fantasy.

    I had a bit too much free time today, so I did a mock draft for the entire first two rounds. Here are all the 62 selections.

    That's a really nice mock. I can't say I yet have a good vibe on separating players past 15... but I can say I really like the 15 chosen.
    I've seen Bouchard charging up several charts - I'll have to research more on what people are liking more about him these days.

    they need EVERYTHING. They have to take who they believe is the highest end talent. Period. regardless who's there, they can't afford to draft positionally.

    Interesting you have Bouchard as the second D going off the board at #5... this is where I've been saying he would go all along.. or even in front of Tkachuk at #4.
